Finding The Right Home Theater Seat

When
building a home theater, the right home theater seating will be a clear
centerpiece of your efforts. How people
sit is as important as what they are watching on the screen. Comfort, look, convenience, and cost will be
the four major factors to consider when choosing the right seat for your home
theater, and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. In order to help you do so, let’s examine
some of the key factors which you will want to focus on when choosing the
perfect theater seat for your needs.

The first
element, comfort, is perhaps the most essential. Audiences want to be able to relax when they
stare at the screen, and not have to worry that the seat is too stiff, not the
right size, or that the material is not to their liking. Seats come in all shapes, sizes and comfort
levels, so it’s important to read the description for each product before
purchasing. If you are near a showroom,
take the time to come down and sit in various seats for yourself. There’s nothing like the actual experience of
feeling how your body contours to the chair.
Are you able to “sink in” to the cushioning? Is there a headrest? Does manual or power recline make the
difference for you? Remember, a home theater seat is meant to last years, and you don’t want to have to return what
you got and start over. If you are not near a showroom, don’t hesitate
to call 4Seating and one of our experienced customer service reps will be
able to go over the details of each chair with you.

Related to
the idea of comfort is the placement of your home theater seat. Measuring the dimensions of the room to be
converted is essential in figuring out the size and number of seats which you
will be able to fit comfortably. Also,
be sure and factor in the placement of a row of seats with respect to the sound
coming from the TV screen; stand at
various points in the room to find out which placing will give you the best
audio experience. Most of the chairs now
offered by 4Seating now come with “Wall-Hugger” seating, which allows them
to recline even when placed inches from the wall. This permits for more convenient placement;
also check if a seat has space-saver arms.

The look of
your theater seat is another no-brainer: you want something that will fit the design
layout of your new theater. In that
case, pick a color which will coordinate with the walls, floor and other home theater décor items
in the most eye-catching manner. 4Seating offers chairs in a wide array of styles, from retro to
modern, and each product page features a slideshow of photos you can scroll
through to look at the chair from any angle.
Finally, consider the material.
Between leather and fabric, leather is the easier to clean and maintain,
although fabric is the better value. If
you are looking to choose a fabric chair, it’s best to choose a thick, dark
fabric that will hide spills and be easier to clean.

You will
also want to check out the accessory options for each chair, in order to tailor
the seat for your specific needs. Choose
LED lighting to add marquee-style décor and find your way in the dark. Tray tables and wine glass caddies will allow
you to dine with convenience. A tablet holder may be perfect for kids, or for connecting the internet to your home
entertainment system. Your home theater
seat can truly become an all-in-one accompaniment to your theater!

Finally, you
will want to cross-compare to figure out which seating arrangement will provide
the most bang for your buck. Remember
that this seat is an investment which will give back for years to come, so you
should also choose the right materials, accessories and number of chairs to fit
your needs. Don’t just pick the first
chair you see; browse through our internet catalog, or come to a showroom and
take the time to pick the seat that’s perfect for you.
